NEW DELHI—India may have failed at its attempt to land a probe on the moon. It has lost communication with the lunar lander just as it was about to reach the lunar surface.

It happens. This country should be grateful that they managed to leave earth and get to the moon. NASA will help out. Should this fail, try again. You will succeed in your endeavors. Think of the Kennedy years and the sorrows that soon ended with success. Same thing. ♀️

RacismDog this whole thread

Wow! Only fifty plus years late!

Something got it. Something has been there since before we started.

Not Trump’s fault?

Maybe they stopped at a 7/11...

hmmmmm

Genius Indians can’t land a rover but the USA landed people 50 years ago with the computing power of a calculator? Doubtful.

back to over-populating the planet....

So India spends billions on this yet cant find money for toilets, basic literacy etc etc etc

Better stay managing convenience stores😂😂😂😂😂

Good luck understanding technical support 😏

Predicted long ago 😂

Hope India and Indians would understand that communication failure can crash satellites and lives Kashmir kashmirsiege

After years of trying to prove cigarettes and smoking is bad for our health and when people finally gets it, States turn around n allow vapors, legalize marijuana all for taxes and collecting money from residents! Greed n corruption dictates many states legislation vaping

India May have failed to land the probe however has successfully positioned orbiter for continues data analysis for next couple of years. Another day, another mission and India will get🙏

Maybe it didn't request permission to land on the US Moon and was summarily dispatched.

The aliens living there don’t like humans..

Who knew that you couldn't get a good cell signal on the moon?

Imagine how hard it's gonna be for India to accomplish future scientific milestones yet to be pursued, such as getting basic indoor plumbing and sanitation infrastructure nationwide.

This country on your planet, India, for how long have they been so distinctly inferior?

dont worry India, China stole all their technology! You will get it next!

New Delhi we have a problem...😱

Great more space junk

Q&A with Kashmiri politician, Shehla Rashid, charged with sedition in IndiaIn late August TRT World spoke to Shehla Rashid, a pro-India politician with the Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement, who has criticised India's revocation of Kashmir's autonomous status. Today, New Delhi police filed multiple cases against her. Shehla_Rashid Understood. After her Party Boss missed the Flight to Turkey she was found by TRT 😊😊😊 Shehla_Rashid Shehla_Rashid you have been utterly irresponsible and done nothing but spread venomous fake news to misguide and mislead the world. Your free rein of peddling fake narratives had to be curtailed. Shehla_Rashid Modi has established a state of emergency, without declaring it. Entire Parliament is just a huge mafia family functioning on omerta
